This no-stress block-based plus quilt (or swiss cross?) sew-along is meant to make a serious dent in your quilting scraps!

Fabric Requirements – Scrappy Plus Quilt

My challenge to you is that you use your leftover scraps from your other quilting projects instead of heading to the fabric store!

STEP 1: Colour Sorting

Quilt color sorting helps because you will want to know which color of scrap fabric you have the most of…this should be your background fabric.

STEP 2: Pick your Plus Block Center

The colored center of these plus quilt blocks are what I call mix and match. Which means you can use different types of fabric scraps interchangeably.

STEP 3: Cut Your Fabrics

STEP 4: Sew Rectangle Blocks

STEP 5: Construct a 9 Patch Block

Sew each block in 3 rows using a 1/4″ seam allowance.
